Ancient Lakes Elementary

Summary:

Ancient Lakes Elementary is a public elementary school in Quincy, Washington, serving 374 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Quincy School District, which is ranked 229 out of 247 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ancient Lakes Elementary stands out for several key reasons. The school has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (84.49%) compared to the state average and nearby schools like George Elementary, Monument Elementary, and Mountain View Elementary. Additionally, Ancient Lakes consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Washington elementary schools, with particularly low performance for Hispanic, male, and low-income students. Despite the school's high per-student spending, ranging from $14,800 to $15,748 over the past three years, its academic outcomes remain significantly below state and district averages.

The challenges faced by Ancient Lakes Elementary appear to be systemic within the Quincy School District, as nearby schools in the district also struggle with similar demographic profiles and low academic performance. However, the high per-student spending suggests that there may be opportunities to implement targeted interventions and support programs to address the specific needs of the student population at Ancient Lakes Elementary. Collaboration with the district and community stakeholders could be crucial in developing and implementing effective strategies to improve student outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
